A haunting collection of poems that captures the turbulence of memory, grief, and rebirth. In Flight 206, Samuel Ludke guides readers through a journey that begins in the wreckage of loss and ascends toward fragile hope. Each poem feels like a fragment of a black box recording-voices, echoes, and moments preserved in language-woven together into a powerful meditation on what it means to survive, to remember, and to rise again.
Balancing stark honesty with lyrical grace, Ludke's verse explores the weight of heartbreak, the shadows of mortality, and the unexpected beauty that emerges when one dares to face the storm. Flight 206 is not just a book of poetry-it is a passage, a reckoning, and an arrival.
